Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs), that is, ionic liquids exhibiting mesomorphism, liquid crystalline
phases, and anisotropic properties, have received intense attention in the past years …

Phthalocyanine emerged as a promising molecular component for photoreceptors because
of their high extinction coefficients, stability, and energy band gaps well-matched to the …

Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) are soft matter materials with broad liquid crystalline phases and
intrinsic electric conductivity. They typically consist of a rod‐shaped mesogenic ion and a …

The thermotropic phase behavior of ionic liquids and ionic liquid crystals based on novel N-
alkyl-3-methylpyridinium halides, trihalides and dichloroiodates was experimentally studied …

Pyridine tetrafluoro-λ6-sulfanes (SF4) with alkenyl or alkyl substituents have been
synthesized for the first time via the radical addition reactions of pyridine-SF4 chlorides to …

Series of novel star-shaped liquid crystals containing [1, 1ʹ-biphenyl]-4, 4ʹ-diyl
diisonicotinate mesogens with various counterions (Br−, B-SO3−, C-SO3−, H2PO4−, BF4−) …

In the present work, new luminescent lanthanide complexes with extended mesomorphic
range were prepared by coordination to lanthanide ions (Eu 3+, Sm 3+ and Tb 3+) of the …

We study generic properties of poly (ionic liquid) s (PILs) via coarse-grained molecular
dynamics simulations in bulk solution and under confinement. The influence of different side …

We have investigated, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, the phase behaviour of
mixtures of charged ellipsoidal Gay-Berne (GB) particles and spherical Lennard-Jones (LJ) …

The author's work in metallomesogens stemmed from initial preparations of κ 1-complexes
of cyanobiphenyls of the Group 10 metals, palladium and platinum. In this personalised …
